Are Suicidal And Violent Thoughts Symptoms Of A Mental Disorder?
Question: i've taken some online test (based by dsm 5) and it shown that i might have several mental health prob.
since i dont have any private physician or private psychiatrist to consult this,
i just wonder if its possible to get examine accurately and to get to know about my mental health better so then i know what to do in future.
because from what i read, that people with mental disorder mostly failed on buiding their relationship with others and also tend to be suicidal and violent.
those three things above happened to me before but i just thought its normal because i bet everybody must have been through that too...
